The TSM Scheduler provides the capability for the server to process scheduled operations. For client nodes running on non-Windows platforms, the scheduler is installed when the client or application client software is installed. The scheduler can be started by using the DSMC SCHEDULE command on the client's machine. For Windows NT and Windows 2000clients and application clients, the TSM Scheduler service must be installed separately.
For more information about installing the TSM Scheduler, see Tivoli Storage Manager Installing the Clients.
